Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Starting for first time in 2025

Hardy is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Hardy has been a healthy DNP in four of the Mavericks' last nine games, but the 2022 second-rounder will enter the starting lineup Tuesday for the first time this season due to the absence of P.J. Washington (foot). Hardy is averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 threes over 10.5 minutes per game this season.
